Guidelines, icons and marketable skills
- 1. Guidelines, Icons and Marketable Skills: An Accessibility Evaluation of 100 Web Development Company Homepages Teresa Gilbertson and C.H.C. Machin Loughborough University
- 2. Research questions 1. Do web development companies view accessibility as a selling point? 2. Does the mention of accessibility on developers’ site have an effect on the accessibility of their own site? 3. Do conformance logos/icons and accessibility statements have any bearing on the accessibility of the website?
- 3. Methodology • 100 websites checked • Accessibility as a service or skill • Accessibility statements • Homepage conformance icons/logos • Homepage validation
- 4. Results – selling points • Accessibility as a selling point is common • Mention of WCAG conformance is not • No association with automated homepage accessibility
- 5. Results – accessibility conformance icons • Conformance icons not prevalent • Some icons more common than others • Conformance icons do not guarantee validation Images from: w3.org
- 6. Results – accessibility statements • Accessibility statements not widespread • No association between accessibility statement and automated homepage accessibility
- 7. Results – automated checks • Language of page – missing attribute • ALT tags and link context – Banner slideshows • Labels for forms
- 8. Future work • Exploration of developer attitudes • Views on conformance icons • Self assessment of developer skills • Full manual evaluation of homepages
